After listening to what the scouts said, Sa Xucha told King Rong Di: "According to my estimate, the number of troops left in the Zhou Yan coalition camp is only a few thousand, and most of them worked all night yesterday and are resting now. Moreover, They are people like the Huotou Army and the Heavy Troops. As long as we get to a place three or four miles away from them, make sure not to be discovered by their sentries, and then launch a fierce attack, they will not have time to react!"
"What a good idea!" King Rong Di held the handle of the knife tightly with his right hand and said through gritted teeth: "The bombing killed so many of my soldiers yesterday, and today they set up an ambush on the road and divided my army into three sections. Ji Jie is... He wants to put my whole family to death! God is finally on our side. He never dreamed that I would fight back and take his camp directly!"
Then, he ordered the troops to be silent and chew immediately, and to keep quiet during the march.
Sa Xuyu continued to send out scouts to pay close attention to the movements of Zhou Yan's coalition camp.
…
The three brothers of the Xiong family pursued the remnants of Xirong from three different directions. King Xirong turned pale with fright. He had never seen a general with such a big ax in his hand but it seemed like it was nothing, and there were three of them at the first sight.
Zhao Ling was chasing people from the Chi Di tribe. Seeing that King Chi Di was about to be overtaken, he quickly ordered Bu Lechuan to lead people to cut off the rear and buy time for the large army to retreat.
Bullechuan led a thousand men to catch Zhao Ling's fire, and the two fought to the same place.
"Are you the one who forced Zhao Wenjun to run to the hinterland of the Xiongnu?" Zhao Ling asked.
"That's right, it's me, Bullechuan!" Bullechuan struck the long knife with his hand and said, "That is also the thing I regret most in my life. I regret not being able to kill him, which caused such a situation to us Rongdi people. Big disaster!"
"Only you, are you worthy?" Zhao Ling came over with a gun, and the two of them hit each other more than a dozen times, but they were evenly matched.
Zhao Ling's purpose was to catch up with King Red Di, but he was stopped by a small figure like Bullechuan. He had to get rid of him quickly, otherwise King Red Di would run away in a short while.
Zhao Ling used the move Ji Jie taught him: "Rapid Dragon Leaping to the Sea". This was an exquisite move in "Chi You's Spear". Bullechuan was unable to avoid it and was stabbed in the right shoulder. He fell off his horse at that time!
Before he could get up, he shot Bullechuan directly into the throat with another shot, stabbing a transparent hole in his neck!
"You have such little ability and you want to kill the king, it's really a dream!" Zhao Ling spat at Bullechuan's body. As soon as he died, his subordinates began to retreat.
"Chase, be sure to catch up with King Red Di, alive or dead!" Zhao Ling led his troops to continue the pursuit.
…
Ji Jie felt a faint uneasiness in his heart. Could it be that victory came too quickly and he was not ready yet?
No, I have won many battles before, but I have never felt like this before.
In the end, Ji Jie still didn't take it seriously. An hour and a half had passed since the retreat. As noon approached, the Huotou Army began to busy making fires and cooking to prepare a celebration banquet for the victorious soldiers.
Four miles away, Saxugou was lying on a slope, with nearly 7,000 Baidi warriors behind him.
Looking from a distance, Zhou Yan's camp was full of smoke, and the camp was sparsely populated. The farthest patrols were operating within a two-mile radius from the camp, and it was certain that no one had noticed their presence.
"Your Majesty, we can launch an attack!" Sa Xuya turned around and said: "They are loosely defended. The four-mile journey is just a cup of tea for the cavalry. Ji Jie has no time to react!"
"Okay!" King Rong Di pulled out his sword and roared: "Warriors, come with me and charge out to avenge the dead brothers! Kill!"
"Kill..." Sa Xucha shouted and rushed out with King Rong Di.
Huo Toujun, who was cutting vegetables, felt that the chopping board was shaking slightly, and the vegetables on it were rolling to one side. This was so strange! When he raised his head, he was quickly stunned.
I saw a team of Rongdi Qi soldiers rushing towards the camp. The Huotou army panicked and stumbled to the military stove. They picked up a spoon and banged the iron pot hard while shouting: "The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking." ...The Rongdi people are coming to kill..."
There were sounds of bowls being thrown and chopping boards being lifted, and the Huotou Army was in chaos.
Ji Jie was the first to rush out of the tent and saw a patrol of 60 from his side encountering the Rong Di people. The Rong Di people only paused for a moment before eating up this troop. They even No time to fire thunderbolts.
"Blow the drums, everyone moves into defensive positions and refuses to defend the camp!" Ji Jie ordered.
Sa Xucha's analysis is correct. Among the 4,000 people here in Ji Jie, 2,000 are artillerymen, and they are sleeping soundly now. The remaining 2,000 people have 500 Huotou Army, and only 1,500 people are part of the combat force. .
The Huotou Army can be said to have no combat effectiveness, and the artillerymen are even less likely to set up trebuchets in a short period of time. Even if they are set up, it will be useless. By then, the enemy will have already rushed over, beyond the artillery's nearest range.
When the locals were still one mile away from the camp, six to seven hundred people gathered around Ji Jie. He could not wait any longer and immediately assigned a task: "You people are scattered in front of the enemy's attack. Use thunderbolts to greet them! You You, you, and you, the four of you are responsible for conveying my orders to the others and asking them to defend other positions to prevent the enemy from detouring to fight."
"Yes!" everyone shouted together.
By the time these people entered the combat position, the enemy had already fired two rounds of arrow rain. The arrows were flying like locusts, and the wooden wall outside the camp was set up like a hedgehog.
Both sides fired thunderbolt bombs almost at the same time. The defenders mostly hid behind wooden walls, so the casualties were relatively small.
Ji Jie, Ji Lin and Rou Yue were responsible for the north, southeast and three directions respectively. He kept throwing thunder bombs out, and he threw out a thunder cannon, which exploded and knocked the enemies off their feet.
However, there were too many enemies! The guys in their hands were not vegetarians. In the end, they could not hold the gate of the camp, and the Rongdi people rushed in, and the two sides entered a state of hand-to-hand combat.
Ji Jie held a long spear and used the exquisite "Chi You Spear" technique to pick down the enemies in front of him one by one. The south and north were also infiltrated by small groups of enemies, but fortunately Ji Lin and Rou Yue quickly eliminated them.
Saxuzhao and King Rongdi were fighting from left to right, and almost no one was their opponent.
One side has many people and is still riding on horseback, while the other side has few people and can only stand on the ground. It is obvious who is stronger and who is weaker.
The Rongdi people set fire to them while slashing and killing, and more than a dozen tents were set alight. Even though Ji Jie and the others were extremely brave, they were still unable to defeat four people with just one fist.
Judging from the situation, it was difficult to keep the camp. At this time, Ji Jie finally understood why he was uneasy before. It turned out that he was only focused on beating others, subjectively thinking that others only deserved to be beaten, and forgetting that others would fight back.
Ninety percent of the troops were out fighting and could not arrive in a short time. He could only shrink the defense line and retreat step by step towards the center of the camp.
